Crime Victim Information

Rights and Services for all Crime Victims

1. You have the right to apply for financial help for losses resulting from
a violent crime. This assistance does not cover property losses. For
application and information call 651-201-7300 (TTY: 651-205-4827).

2. You have the right to request that the law enforcement agency withhold
public access to data revealing your identity. The law enforcement agency
will decide if this is possible.

3. You have the right, if an offender is charged, to be informed of and
participate in the prosecution process, including the right to request
restitution – money court ordered from the defendant to be paid to the
victim.
If you feel your rights as a victim have been violated, call the Crime Victim
Justice Unit at 800-247-0390.
